Together we will prepare a 5-course Balinese lunch, while learning cooking tips, listening to fascinating stories, and gaining insights into local culture and religion. We will enjoy the meal we have cooked together in a beautiful setting. As a gift, you will also receive a Balinese recipe booklet, so you can recreate your favorite dishes at home.
Day 6: After breakfast we head to a small village near the foot of Mount Agung, where Wayan and his family will welcome us. Our first stop is the local elementary school, where we can see the conditions in which education takes place in a Balinese school. The children are always very friendly and greet us with great warmth.
Afterwards, we continue to Wayan’s home, where we put on traditional Balinese attire. While tasting local cakes and sweets, we begin preparing flower offerings. Once ready, we walk to a nearby temple set in magical surroundings. Here, we will take part in a Melukat purification ceremony, pray together, and receive a blessing from the local manku (priest).
A delicious Balinese lunch will be served at Wayan’s home, enjoyed the traditional way—sitting on the floor and eating with our hands (wooden cutlery will be available upon request). Guests will also have the chance to taste the local Arak spirit. For the curious, Wayan will gladly show us around their family garden, where they grow almost everything themselves.

From there, a short 15-minute trek awaits us, leading through rice terraces and jungle down to the river.
Here we hop into inflatable rafts and spend around 3 hours drifting and paddling downstream in pristine, untouched nature. Along the way, there will be opportunities to swim at a waterfall or enjoy a refreshing drink. After the rafting experience, we invite you to a delicious Balinese buffet lunch.
